Fossil Nano Stone

WIO Fossil Nano Stone, is a sophisticated metamorphic stone shaped under intense heat and pressure, producing striking banding patterns with shimmering mica and feldspar inclusions. Its texture recalls fossilized wood, and its unique shapes-rounded, blocky, and layered, make it a versatile centerpiece or supporting stone in elegant compositions.

Perfect for layouts where scale, contrast, and mineral beauty matter, Fossil stands out in planted tanks, mossy terrariums, and minimalist bowls. It can be positioned vertically or flat to suggest depth, cliffs, or eroded geological structures.

While it may very slightly raise pH and water hardness over time, this effect is very gentle and can be balanced with regular water changes or soft water use. Its reflective mineral bands catch the light, offering a subtle, glittering finish.

• Color: Metallic grey with layered banding and glittering flecks.
• Nano Scale: Sized ≈ 3–10 cm, ideal for aquariums under 40 L / 10 gal.
• Fossil Texture: Rounded, monolithic forms with ancient trunk-like appearance.
• Mineral Detail: Shimmering mica and feldspar inclusions.
• Slight Hardness Impact: May gently raise pH and KH-monitor in sensitive setups.
• Versatile Use: Perfect for aquariums, terrariums, paludariums, and bowls.
• Packaging: 2 kg bag with assorted mixed-size stones.
• Pairing Tip: Contrast beautifully with bright greens, mosses, or dark substrates.

• Preparation
  – Rinse briefly to remove transport dust.
  – Soaking optional depending on layout needs.
  
   
• Placement Tips
  – Use vertically for trunk-like formations or horizontally for layered cliffs.
  – Stack to create terraces, walls, or fossil-inspired outcrops.
  – Combine with fine gravel or sand to mimic eroded terrains.
  
   
• Layout Ideas
  – Ideal for fossil, alpine, or petrified forest themes.
  – Pair with WIO PlantGlue to attach moss or ferns.
  – Works well with shadowed lighting for depth enhancement.
  
   
• Maintenance Ideas
  – During cleaning, gently use WIO cleaning tools to lift debris from layers.
  – Control any alterations in pH and kH by regular water changes with osmotic or soft water, or by using WIO water treatments (only for stones with calcium).

Notes
– Each bag is unique-natural variation in form, color, and mineral pattern is expected.
– Slightly heavier than volcanic rocks, ideal for stable positioning.
– Ancient texture, brings age and elegance to small-scale ecosystems.
